As soon as Shao Yan appeared on the stage, he immediately calmed everyone. Those present were all at the level of golden immortals. Naturally, they did not understand the mystery. Xiang Liu was born as a god. Although he was born from the Tao, he did not understand the Tao. Just like a person drinking water, how many people can The one who really understands water is the Supreme Demon and Manjusri Bodhisattva. The two are confronting each other. As soon as Shao Yan appears, they know that a Da Luo Jinxian has arrived. The two sides have a meal and agree to temporarily stop the attack. //.com novel network//
Shao Yan waved his hand, and a sword light took shape, but it was a sword that combined the murderous aura of the three talents of heaven, earth and man. It also incorporated the sword of Lingbao Tianzun. What everyone didn't know even more was that there was a line of sky-opening ax projected on it. Inside. As soon as the sword came out, Xiang Liu's face changed drastically. He felt that he was standing alone between heaven and earth, but heaven and earth wanted to exclude him. He seemed to be the weakest person in heaven and earth.
Xiang Liu didn't just wait to die. The monstrous black water suddenly gathered around him, like black crystals. It didn't end. The black crystals quickly disappeared. A layer of light that was as tough as black crystals. The space automatically retreated. , even the space cannot accommodate it. The magic weapons of Tiandaozi and several people have not yet been recovered. The magic weapon of Tiandaozi turned into fireflies and scattered away as soon as it touched the light layer. It was not scattered, and there was no way it could enter the light layer like black crystal.
Shao Yan's sword has arrived without any sound. It cuts into the light layer quietly. Wherever the sword light passes, the light layer separates. The space pours in like water, but the light layer cannot be closed at all. With a sword, the light layer separates. Breaking it open is as simple as this. Xiangliu's various magical weapons intercept the sword light. The sword light seems to be flying past nothing in front of it. It's very simple. Xiangliu is divided into two parts.
Everyone was stunned. With such a simple sword, Xiang Liu was chopped into two pieces. What kind of sword was this? Such a fierce Xiang Liu was chopped off. There was also an exception in Manjushri Bodhisattva's eyes. He could see that this sword seemed to have the shadow of Lingbao Tianzun's sword to kill the immortal, but it was not exactly the same. What kind of sword was it!
Xiang Liu was chopped into two parts, but he did not die. Xiang Liu's innate spirit was just chopped into two parts. Even if he was divided into seventeen or eighteen pieces, it would not have any impact. As long as his spirit is not extinguished, he cannot be killed at all. This is also the case for Xiang Liu. One of Liu Yizhan was killed by Dayu last time, but now he has been resurrected.
Xiang Liu twisted his body, trying to merge into one. Now he wanted to avoid the sharp edge temporarily, so he moved his two bodies upwards. He thought they were one, but he didn't know that a hidden force suddenly burst out at the mouth of the sword. This was not a force. The power caused the world to fall into nothingness in an instant, and a feeling of despair arose in the hearts of everyone present. It seemed that the end of the world had come, and there was no hope in the hearts of all living beings. Everyone in the scene was shocked and fled from this place of right and wrong. Only Shao Yan was still among them. A bright light flashed in Shao Yan's eyes. Where Xiang Liu was, a large number of cracks suddenly appeared like glass. Then the space turned into powder, and even Xiang Liu formed the pure black crystal light that lined the space. Crushed into powder, in the fine sand of space, in the eyes of everyone, they turned into countless worlds of dust. They instantly transformed and returned to nothingness. However, the heaven and earth collapsed, and countless worlds were born in the destruction, and in the blink of an eye they returned to nothingness. , this kind of scene is exactly the result of Shao Yan's sword containing a trace of the projection power of the sky-opening axe. //.com novel network//
In such a destruction and rebirth of heaven and earth, Xiangliu was completely enveloped in it. Not to mention Xiangliu, even Gonggong was reborn and would be destroyed. Xiangliu was of course no exception. The consciousness of a generation of evil spirits was once again scattered between heaven and earth. The spirit returned to heaven and earth and condensed under the Gonggong stage again. If the consciousness was gathered again, it would probably take more than tens of thousands of years, or even longer.
Shao Yan would not let it go. An oak tree appeared. It was the useless tree gifted by Zhuangzi. This tree fell beside the Gonggong Terrace. In a blink of an eye, it was a hundred feet high and its shade blocked out the sun. Together with this tree, The spirit of General Xiangliu is gathered under it. Its tree is useless, and nothing lasts long. Soon after the consciousness is born, it will be naturally annihilated, and then it will be reborn and annihilated again. The cycle repeats, and this time Xiangliu will be resurrected. I'm afraid it's not 10,000 to 20,000 years, maybe it's an extremely long time. Future generations will be free to deal with it, and it has nothing to do with Shao Yan.
As soon as the tree came out of Shao Yan, Manjushri Bodhisattva and the Supreme Demon immediately saw the origin of the tree, and they sighed in their hearts, knowing that the matter was hopeless. At first, both the Buddha and the demon were a little puzzled when they saw several golden immortals coming from the Taoist sect. But now I understand that the Taoist sect also sent Daluo Jinxian, and actually went to Nanhua Old Immortal to find a useless tree. Xiangliu was seriously injured this time. Dayu suppressed his spirit under the Gonggong Stage last time, and this time But it was suppressed by a useless tree. If this tree doesn't die, it will be difficult for Xiang Liu to get ahead.
The supreme demon turned his attention to the oak tree, and even considered in his mind whether to find an opportunity to cut down the tree. Before he could make up his mind, a yellow light flashed on the earth, and a clear brilliance flashed, and the tree Connected with the veins of the earth, with a flash of light, the Gonggong Terrace and the oak tree disappeared. Everyone searched with their spiritual thoughts, but found nothing. Knowing that Zhen Yuanzi, the ancestor of the Earth Immortal, had taken action, the Supreme Demon had to give up that idea. , with his current merit, he does not have the ability to offend the ancestor of the Earth Immortal. After taking a look at the two demons,The shadow faded and went back to the outside world of heavenly demons. When the two demons saw it, they also broke through the space and disappeared.
The Buddhists said goodbye to Shao Yan and others, and conveniently put away the golden ring to subdue demons. When Yanbo Diaosou saw it, his body trembled, the coir raincoat shrank, and was draped back on Yanbo Diaosou. At this time, The three of Tiandaozi breathed a sigh of relief and asked Shao Yan when he passed by under the tree and asked Shao Yan why he had been gone for so long.
Of course, Shao Yan didn't tell the truth. He couldn't say that he was discussing with Zhuangzi. Seeing everyone's fuss, he evaded the important point and said that he had borrowed the tree. Zhuangzi also pointed out the secret of Wuding's mountain-breaking ax, so that he could see the secret of the mountain-breaking ax and transform into With his magical power, he was able to kill Xiang Liu easily. This is not a lie, it is also true. However, Shao Yan discussed these two matters with Zhuangzi for too short a time.
When Shao Yan said this, the three of them suddenly realized. They took it for granted that it was normal for Shao Yan to be gone for such a long time. After all, it would not be possible to understand the secret of the Wuding mountain ax used by Dayu in a day or two. Moreover, Shao Yan's move to kill Xiang Liu was extremely mysterious. If he thought about it carefully, he did have some traces of an ax move.
The few of them talked for a while. Tiandaozi thanked Shao Yan for his help this time. The four of them parted ways. Seeing that everyone had left, Shao Yan took a step forward and came to Wanshou Mountain. Shao Yan did not come here without purpose. Last time He had an agreement with Zhen Yuanzi to discuss Taoism for a thousand years, but Shao Yan actually broke the contract. Shao Yan became the Great Luo Jin Immortal Queen and entered the Taiqing Realm to cultivate. In the blink of an eye, a thousand or hundreds of years passed, and today he returned to the Earthly Immortal Realm. , Shao Yan, of course, has to go to Wanshou Mountain to explain.
As soon as Shao Yan arrived, a boy came out to greet him. Shao Yan followed the boy inside and bowed to the two Heaven and Earth cards of Wuzhuang Temple. Immortal Zhen Yuanzi had already come out of the hall to greet him. After entering the temple, he behaved like a guest and host. Shao Yan first expressed his apology to the Immortal and briefly Explaining some situations, the Great Immortal laughed: "Fellow Taoist, you don't need to apologize. I congratulate you on your promotion to Daluo. During practice, a retreat often lasts for thousands of years. It's normal to miss the time. Besides, Taoist friends don't come without any reason. You I also know about this, if you don¡¯t come today, in a few days, I won¡¯t be in the earthly immortal world either!¡±
When Shao Yan heard this, he congratulated: "It seems that the Great Immortal has cut off the connection with the Earthly Immortal Realm. He should be taking the last step soon, right?!" The Great Immortal Zhenyuan nodded and said: "Exactly, now I am relaxed, giving up this Everything, the world has widened, now it¡¯s just a matter of adjusting yourself. When you have no gain or loss, and life and death are one, you will naturally take that step, and see what kind of scenery will be after that step?"
"The Great Immortal still has hope. It seems that he still has some time in the human world!" Shao Yan smiled.
"Yes, because of this, I haven't taken that step yet. Wait until one day, I no longer have expectations in my heart, and I will go out! I am called the ancestor of the Earth Immortal, but I use the Earth Immortal World as my dojo to take this step. , it can also be regarded as a path to enlightenment!" Zhen Yuanzi seemed to be in a good mood.
"Apart from Buddhas and demons, is there any other non-Taoist way to enlightenment?" Seeing Zhen Yuanzi say this, Shao Yan also smiled. When he heard about the way to enlightenment, he was moved in his heart and asked.
"Of course there is. The Taoist sect cultivates both life and life. The upper one ascends to heaven, and the lower one abandons the body and soul to ascend and enters the immortal world to reshape the body. The same is true for the Buddhist and demon sects. Buddhism cultivates nature more and often abandons the body and soul. The golden body ascends, but there are also people who ascend. In addition to this, all the schools of thought have achieved positive results, but the schools of Confucianism and Mohism are more prominent. They pay more attention to helping the world, thinking about the common people, and not focusing on themselves. After many achievements in the world, a spirit often sees its true nature, becomes a god or a saint after death, and naturally enters the immortal world and resides in the heaven, which is also regarded as the fruit of the Tao." Zhen Yuanzi said.
"This is the first time I have heard this. Confucius was called a saint in the world, and he should be in heaven now. I don't know where he is, and what his merits are? I have heard before in the mortal world that saints are immortal, but in the immortal world Who can be called a saint if he has not seen the path of sainthood?" Shao Yan became interested.
"Confucius was in a unique space in the heaven, which some people call the Great Sage Realm. There is the Dacheng Hall. Hundreds of schools of thought have their own halls in this space, and they often argue among themselves. Their merits are rather unique and they pay attention to all living beings. , a bit like Buddhism, but different. They do not ask everyone to ascend to immortality, but to turn the world into a world of great harmony or other ideal worlds. Therefore, they are different from us in thinking about transcendence. Among all schools of thought, , there is no specific method of practice. Most of its ancestors directly understood the mind and nature, but his disciples did not have this qualification, so they created some methods. For example, Mencius in Confucianism took benevolence as the core and cultivated righteousness. Later generations even learned from Buddhism. Taoism, etc., with Haoran Zhengqi as the core, created a line of Confucianism and cultivation. They were honored to enter the Dacheng Palace when they ascended. The same is true for other scholars! As for the saint, it is just a title. Confucianism calls Confucius a saint; Mozi calls Mozi a saint. "Taoists also call the Three Pure Ones such as the Daode Tianzun as saints; Buddhists call Buddha a saint, and even call Sakyamuni the World Honored One. These are just honorific titles, not Taoist fruits." Great Immortal Zhenyuan laughed.
"So that's it. If they practice to reach the realm of great sages and saints, how will they practice after that?" Shao Yan was very interested. The disciples did not pay attention to the ultimate transcendence of Buddhism. What was their goal.
"Study day by day! On the one hand, you continue to perfect your moral and academic cultivation, but on the other hand, you set your sights on the endless world, or your consciousness descends to that world, or even reincarnates in that world, in order to realize your ideals, which is also a kind of Merit and deeds come and go again and again, just as the Taoist ancestor said, there is no end to the deeds! There are conflicts but also cooperation. For example, Confucianism and Mohism often conflict, while farmers, Yin and Yang families, military strategists and miscellaneous families often cooperate with other scholars!" Zhenyuan Daxian said this , Shao Yan understood that after they attained enlightenment, they returned to the ordinary world to realize their ideals. After attaining enlightenment, they did not fly to the sky, but returned to the earth. This is also a direction. Life is inherently colorful. This It is also a path, sometimes, the real saint is in the world!
